Ultima Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.htmlHow does a torrent from here run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dholl2000 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 For the open office torrent this is what is showing:D'load 107kB/s | upload 20kB/s at a constant rate :: does this just mean that there are not enough seeders for the DJ Sammy album (see post No.1)?

Switeck Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Let me guess...you're getting lots of hash fails, and then speed's falling to near-zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dholl2000 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 No hashes or fails, but for some reason it fluctuates, gets faster then goes slower at speeds mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I cannot comment about your particular torrent nor care to check.(Read announcement above for why!)However µTorrent may be misconfigured for your connection...either allowing way too many connections, and quickly choking itself off. Or attempting too many connections too quickly via the half open connection rate set in advanced settings. Even the default value of 8 is too much for some marginal networking hardware (routers&modem) and software (firewalls&antivirus).Try this "Internet Interruption or Slow Speeds?"

AllGamer Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 i know exactly that scenario.and i'm pretty sure it is your ISP or the people seeders/peers ISP that is blocking (trothing) themthere are many ways ISP can do that, they either do it to you, or to the source, what they do is just a Range of IPs trothing.Under that scenario connections starts very fast, but as soon as Torrent is detected, it slows it down to basically nothing.for Torrents like OpenOffice, and many other places that is "legit" from the ISP point of view, then they don't block it, and you are allowed to download full speed.I personally went through that situation, it took me quite a bit of tweaking to get around it, and now i'm at full speed downloading anything.
